Worst of

Worst Things

  1. Cramped and sweaty parties in small dorm rooms
  2. Minnesota's extreme weather—freezing cold or scorching hot walks to class
  3. Limited on-campus housing for upperclassmen
  4. Outdated athletic facilities
  5. Profs know when you haven't done your homework.
  6. Required cafeteria food/on-campus housing for two years
  7. It can become harder to afford as you progress through your education.
  8. It can get a little claustrophobic; we don't socialize too much with neighboring schools. If you need to avoid someone, it is almost impossible.
  9. It's easy to lose yourself in a bubble of privilege.
  10. The policies that are in place for bullying and professor harassment don't actually allow the deans or anyone else to do anything about these situations.

Expensive

Tuition is a steep $38,174, one of the most expensive rates in the country.

Point of Bonding

The weather sucks from November to March/April, but when there's remotely decent weather, Mac kids make the most of it. Plus, the campus is so small and most of the dorms are connected, so you don't have to spend too much time outside if you don't want to.

Lowered Expectation

Macalester students have a fabulously strange way of taking average looking to above average looking people and transforming them into the ugliest of ugly. Whether it's through clothing choice, lack of hygiene or a combination of stress and terrible weather, students become ugly here and nobody every feels attractive enough to actually date or hook up. It's not that much fun for gay boys.
